The Times 10-1-1804
A fellow named Cullinan, who had, under various names, been an active agent
of France since the year 1797, and who was particularly notorious and
mischievous in the South of Ireland, by the title of General Clarke, was
some time ago, taken near Cashel in Tipperary, and transmitted to Dublin
Castle, where he was lodged in the Tower allotted to State prisoners of
importance. Late last night, he forced himself through the funnel of his
chimney out upon the leads, and by the help of a trunk (for taking off
water) conveyed himself down upon the terrace, which overlooks the Castle
garden. He was discovered by the sentinel, who seized him, but was knocked
down instantly; and Cullinan had just began to run off, when the sentinel
recovering, aimed a blow at his head with the butt end of his musket and
fractured his skull. Cullinan, with scarcely a vestige of life, has been
carried to a hospital.
